Good grief! What is going on?? A younger me would have challenged that on the spot. I would definitely make a call to corporate (don't mess with anyone below that). You also deserve some compensation equal to the "crime". What if you had been in a hurry to pick up an elderly parent or a sick child or about to have an "accident"? What if you were about to collapse from back pain? What if you had an appt? Was there a sign saying you couldn't do what you did? Something is "off."

@monicakm,

Really if anyone had one of these scenarios, I don't think they would keep waiting in line at Hobby Lobby. Wouldn't you have left and gone where you needed to go if it was that urgent? I know I would have.

In that situation , I always ask the customers in front of me to go to the new register. I wouldn't even move towards the newly opened register as it would be rude. As far as the sales lady is concerned , she should have directed the next customer in line over to her register. And she shouldn't have spoken to you disrespectfully. She needs some customer service training.

@on the bayExactly those are silly scenarios if you were in any of those situations you should leave the store! Demading compensation or line jumping? Really?

The owners of hobby lobby are Christians who follow it. They don't have halloween decor, are closed on Sundays. I don't agree with the policy of the Healthcare, but it's their right to run the store the way they want. As far as the line situation, that's just bad business.,

I won't shop at Hobby Lobby. I don't agree with their HR policy in regard to their female employees and healthcare coverage. I can't really say anymore. Look it up. I don't think it's changed since it was all over the media a few years ago. I can find a lot of other places to spend my money.💙

@NEvans2

HL also has documented unethical practices in their foreign factories. That can be looked up too.

HL appeals to the family values crowd, but apparently, they don't know how Corporate really operates.

"It must be the WEATHER". I was in a jewelry store waiting to pick up a ring that was being sized...and I walked over to a display case to look at some earrings. The clerk actually SAID TO ME...."You can't afford those."

I got my ring...and left the place PERMANENTLY. di

@lgfan My neighbor used to shop al the time at JoAnn's for fabric and craft supplies. She claims she can't get good quality fabric at Hobby Lobby, or any of the stores in our area. We live near Charlotte, and she was hoping to get some when she vacationed in Tennessee.

I still don't understand why this store has never updated their POS system and let the cashiers type in everything into the register like it is 1975.
I read the autobiography of their founder, David Green. He explained that they never went to a barcode system because he wanted his managers to know their merchanidse and sales. But I believe it's because he didn't want to spend the money on the upgrade.

Congratulations, David. They know their merchandise and can stare at it all day long since no one can checkout to buy it in a timely fashion.
